Yahoo Fantasy Football - Josh & Hayden on Derrick Henry

RB21 faces top-ranked Jaguars defense; scripted out in fourth quarter, needs TD.

Ranked RB21 for Week 9 but faces a brutal Thursday Night Football matchup against Jacksonville's top-ranked fantasy defense. Ravens are projected for under 15 points; Jacksonville allows the lowest neutral run rate to opposing offenses. Henry has only one fourth-quarter touch in the past two weeks (out of 12 combined backfield touches), indicating he's being scripted out and only playing three quarters. Justice Hill's return further limits his role. Henry's 87 yards before contact ranks 33rd in the league, requiring touchdown scoring to be viable. The source projects Henry to lose 10 points and may move him down further.
